The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) issued a correction to a final rule published on February 23, 2026. The original rule established the Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) Program but contained a technical error in the definition of eligible commodities.
Why it matters: This is a small, technical correction. It does not change the program’s funding levels, application deadlines, or overall structure. It simply clarifies which crops qualify for assistance, preventing confusion for farmers who grow non-yellow or non-white corn varieties.
Who it affects
- Farmers growing blue or red corn varieties
The Commodity Credit Corporation published this correction in the Federal Register; readers should verify specific eligibility criteria in the original final rule before relying on this summary.
